OneUp Components Carbon 35 handlebar

OneUp carbon bars: strong, lightweight & vertically compliant

The goal for the new OneUp Carbon Handlebars was to make the best feeling bar possible, something which would let us ride harder for longer.

The solution is OneUp's patent pending oval shape which combines the best ride characteristics of 31.8 mm and 35 mm bar standards into one package. This is the most comfortable bar that have ever been ridden up today. It's strong, lightweight, minimizes arm pump and vibration and maximize steering response. 35 done right.

Almost every other carbon bar on the market copies the simple tapered profile of an Aluminum bar. With carbon you can take advantage of more complex shapes to get a better performing product, so that's what OneUp actually did. The OneUp bar profile minimizes the length of the 35 diameter clamping area as this is the stiffest portion of any 35 diameter bar. The 35 mm clamp diameter quickly changes to a flattened, oval shape in the transition zone and then to a standard 22.2 mm clamp diameter for the control zone.

Their team bench marked the OneUp bar against the most popular carbon bars on the market as well as foam filled aluminum bars. The results were, on average, a 21% increase in vertical compliance (comfort) coupled with a 28% increase in steering stiffness (responsiveness). These are more than just marginal gains.
